But if I was trying to pick up guys over 60, this is the vehicle to have! If there’s an old man within 10 feet, they’re gawking, and if I stop, they’re flocking and then talking, and asking every question imaginable (hey, it’s how I ended up with mine in the first place! ?)

Just got back from the store. As I was going through the lot an old guy was coming out of the store, probably has neck problems from owling my vehicle as I went by. Then after I parked, there was another old guy in the car next to me. As I got out, he did too, and started complimenting and asking questions, which gave the first old guy an excuse to cut the lane and join us. Finally, one more old guy was passing buy and had to join the fun. I gave them the tour, showed them the frunk (it was a big hit) and the interior. The funny thing is, none of them even knew it was an EV, they just liked it, now they like it even more.

It’s not the first time I have had this happen, seems like everywhere I go, if there is an old man around, they are coming over to check it out ?

Oh and full disclosure, I’m 62, so not being ageist.

I haven’t had a lot of old guys approach me but maybe they’re scared of dogs. ?‍♂?

The car may not be great for picking up chicks, but the frunk is a great place to chill. ??

If you had listened to me two years ago you could have picked up those men before they turned 60! ????

Bad sample. I get coffee at a place that's next to a yoga studio with a large female clientele. I've gotten several complements from women the same age as my daughters. I've not attempted to pick any of them up.

I get older ladies wanting to talk about the Mustang they once owned. When I tell them it’s all electric, they get real curious.

In his sexiest voice, “I’m electric”

This MME is not a chick magnet
This is absolutely true. I've had my GTPE for almost 8 months now and the only people who have approached me about it are men. Honestly it is more of a man magnet than a chick magnet.

It is to the point that I'm considering no longer taking my 15 year old son to school in the Mustang. Just today I had a kid give me thumbs up as I was dropping my son off but last week I literally had a meme happen to me.

This guy was walking with his GF up to the school when I pulled up to drop my son off. They were chatting back and forth until he saw my Mustang and he just kept looking back over his shoulder as his GF was talking to him.

It was literally this.

Try driving around in a classic Mustang.

With my 69 Mach 1 I could have a harem of 60+ yr old men. They also can’t resist telling me about the classic mustang they used to have, their friend had etc.

I’m not into them but I appreciate the attention.

Nice, so, it IS a Mustang after all ?

My car gets way less attention now than it did a year or so ago. There are a lot of them in the Bay Area though. I rarely go for a drive and not see another one. I think the attention has been evenly mixed gender wise.

Be careful of your back, if you DO try to pick them up. :)

Funny.
My Cyber Orange GTPE gets looks and love from everyone.
As a percentage, I’d say females in their 20’s to 40’s are a little higher than most other groups.

The color grabs them. From there the comments go to looks/style, that it’s electric, “it’s sooo quiet”, the rims…
